Can I use Intense Debate like a Forum (Bulletin Board)?
I'm looking for a simple forum solution and all of them requires some configuration and comes with pre-defined templates and things like that... Intense Debate seems to work not only as a blog comment's system but also as a bulletin board system, very simple, effective, open and fast.
Intense Debate relies on post IDs and URL's. So I conclude that I can use it like a simple forum solution. Am I right?

Inappropriate?Sidenote: I wish there was some sort of BBPress/IntenseDebate Integration.
That being said, it would be really cool if there was some sort of way to use IntenseDebate as a mini forum on a site. No clue how one would do this...
I’m hopeful

It's a cool idea Chris. Per my comment to Dan and Jennifer below, we'll have cool opportunities to explore some interesting integration opportunities with other Automattic projects. We'll see... :-) -
Inappropriate?Indeed, that WOULD be really cool. in fact - an full integration between wordpress commenting system, bbPress forum, and intensedebate would be awesome.
you'd have to figure this is on the horizon since IntenseDebate IS part of Automattic now, right?

Sorry for the delay Dan. Now that we are part of Automattic we will have cool integration opportunities like this. No specifics at this time though. Thanks for letting us know that you're interested in this. -
Hi Michael! Thanks for the update. Could you give us even a rough idea when this type of integration could be available? Thanks!! -- Dan -
No problem. Unfortunately this won't be happening anytime soon, so no ETA. Sorry. -
Inappropriate?Sorry for the delay.
@Renato - IntenseDebate could work for that. You can create new topics or posts on your index page and use IntenseDebate comments on the post page. Please let me know if you have any questions about that.
Thanks for your patience,
Michael
